Description

Search results seem off because matches for description can push more relevant hits lower. Either remove the description field from the search query or add/adjust scoring so name and ATT&CK ID fields rank higher.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the REST API search query and how description, name, and ATT&CK ID fields affect scoring. Compare the current ordering against the reported behavior, then verify that name and ATT&CK ID matches rank above description-only matches or that description is excluded.
